Gabourey Sidibe Goes Down Under

Gabourey Sidibe attends the Australian premiere of Precious held at the Dendy Opera Quays in Sydney, Australia on Thursday (January 28).

The 26-year-old rising star spoke with the Sydney Morning Herald what it was like working on the film.

”Acting was a challenge because it was something I’d never done before,” Gabourey said. ”But I certainly wasn’t afraid to take on the role … Yes, she goes places emotionally. But it certainly isn’t some place I haven’t seen before.”
